Here is a synopsis of whats been said about why we want 1.6 since you made your post earlier today.

First and formost everyone feels cheated. We all purchased these phones with the understanding that the Android OS and it's apps would be constantly evolving and that we would be able to get updates for the life of the phones. In many cases we specificly asked at the point of purchase about future OS updates and if Rogers was going to cripple any of the functions of the phone. We don't consider minor bug fixes as updates, that's just regular maintenance. Here is a list of some of what 1.6 enables.

1. Google maps navigation (some of us do travel to the US)
2. Voice dialing improvements (bluetooth capability) My old Razr was better. (Handsfree Laws)
3. Improved Text to Speech (and thousands of apps that use it)
4. Improved Camera functionality and speed
5. Google Goggles
6. Access to VPNs
7. Improved Android Market (mainly screen shots submitted by developers in addition to reviews from other users)
8. Improved functionality of the search bar
9. The added functionality of Gestures (and thousands of apps that use it)
10. Useless Rogers icons on the phone, Sites they point to have no use whatsoever.
11. Battery usage indicator (Battery life on this phone sucks, this could help manage it)
12. Accessability functions
